#fuckads — Public Fediverse posts

Can someone help me confirm that #YouTube is showing geo-targeted ads in previews for their links when you put them in things like instant messengers?

I have confirmed the ads are a thing, just wondering about whether it geolocates or if it's random ads.

Chromecast said "Not connected to the internet", rendering it unusuable.

I drop all external DNS (and DNS-over-TLS) requests on my network.

Google (along with Chinese IoT spyware, Samsung, and others) now try to use their hardcoded DNS servers.

My network now fools them all, they think they get a response from their DNS, but it's really my PiHole that answers! NAT + Masquerading FTW!

Its time to say no to more subscriptions. I will not pay a sub to listen to #music, "buy" a #movie I don't actually own, read a book, or watch ads to watch the stuff I'm already paying for. Enough is enough. #nomoresubscriptions #nomoreads #nomorestreaming #fucknetflix #fuckamazon #fuckads #fucksubscriptions #fuckspotify #streaming #spotify #netflix #amazon
